Check CodeCleaner in the DevEx.  It can do all sorts of things, and uses
regexes so its very fast.

Subject: Character Scrubbing


We've got significant user-updatable content in which HTML is permitted.
We
occasionally see a problem with odd characters when a user does a cut &
paste
from something like Word.

What is a good way to scrub these characters from the content?  Ideally,
we'll
do this when the content is written to the db field, and may have to go
through
much of the data we have and correct this.  For the time being, though,
since
we've already got a bit of content with these characters and I'd like to
scrub
it when it's displayed.  I can replace some characters on a case-by-case
basis
(Word 'bullets' and right-quotes are most common) but would rather have
a more
general means of replacing these.

Thanks,
Jim
